Shearwater Classic Schooner

Very poor experience. I have booked online like explorer pass advise me to do it and then use my pass the d day. I wasn't refund of my booking and my pass was validated. So do not book through their website if you want tout use an explorer NY pass.

This is one of the first activities we did on our recent trip to NYC and it surpassed our expectations! I surprised my boyfriend (who actually became my fiance on this trip - he proposed the next day!) and he was blown away, as was I. We did the Happy Hour Sail, which was incredibly beautiful and relaxing. The staff was so friendly and helpful, especially the bartender. There were only a few other people on the boat with us, which we enjoyed since it wasn't over crowded or too noisy - it was easy to sit back, relax, and enjoy our sail. The happy hour drink specials were great. We enjoyed a bottle of champagne for only $16. I'd definitely recommend this activity to anyone looking for a unique, affordable experience in NYC they won't​ soon forget. I'll definitely make it a habit to go on another sail when we're back in the area. Amazing! I'd give it more than five stars if I could.

When we visit cities built on the sea side, we always go for a boat or ferry trip. This was a very enjoyable and relaxing one. We got upgraded for free to the sunset sail, after the larger sister clipper broke earlier in the day. The staff were really friendly and professional. They keep you safe but make sure you have fun, and pretty much let you take photos all over the boat. It sails close to the Statue of Liberty, gives a nice view of the Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn Bridge - and we enjoyed an awesome red sunset. You can bring your own food on board (Shake Shack :) and they have a good selection of drinks. I would heartily recommend this trip, it definitely leaves a happy memory. One thing to watch out for - the Google Map location is exactly correct but on their own leaflet it points to the other side of the marina, which resulted in a bewildered sprint for us, and should be made more accurate! (FYI, if you do go on the bigger sister ship, you can get a 25% discount using the Smart Destinations "build your own" city pass, but it's not available for this schooner).

Lovely crew and mesmerizing views. The boat in itself is a beauty. Ideal for a family/romantic tour.
